Smoothies To Reduce Inflammation

Another Thirsty Thursday for us and today we are going to take care of body Inflammations!

An inflammation is a natural process that occurs in your body to defend and respond to damaged cells, invading pathogens, irritating chemicals, and other negative factors. It is a normal reaction of our immune system. However, when inflammation occurs in a chronic way it can last for a long period of time, and it can affect and damage your body.

Nowadays, modern medicine is just beginning to understand and to study that a bad type of inflammation can be the root of many diseases. You can smartly combat it and become healthier by eating more of certain foods, many of which are perfect in smoothie recipes as the ones that I am going to share here today.

Smoothie Ingredients To Reduce Inflammation:

Turmeric.

Is a very important Spice for youth and one of the best ingredients for reducing chronic inflammation in your body, and it can give you a vibrant, yellow-colored smoothie. The yellow pigment in turmeric is called curcumin. This compound has been shown in research to block chemicals in your body that produce inflammation.

Ginger.

Ginger is another spice that reduces inflammation and is found in a lot of Asian dishes. You can find ginger root at nearly any grocery store. Peel the skin off and put small pieces of the root into your smoothies. The flavor is powerful, so experiment with different amounts and with combining it with other ingredients. Ginger tastes great with most fruits and with chocolate. As an added bonus, ginger can soothe an upset stomach.

Berries.

Any berry is a great ingredient in a smoothie. They taste great, add a natural sweetness and a beautiful color, and they reduce inflammation. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, as well as similar fruits like pomegranates and cherries are packed with flavonoids, compounds that are known to reduce inflammation.

Chia Seeds.

These nutritious little seeds are high in omega-three fatty acids, which most of us need to increase in our daily diets. Many Americans consume an incorrect ratio of omega-three to omega-six fatty acids, and this leads to inflammation. By increasing the amount of omega-three fatty acids in your diet, you can reduce it.

Kiwi and Pineapple.

What could be tastier in a fruity smoothie than pineapple and kiwi? These two flavorful tropical fruits are not just sweet and delicious, they can also reduce inflammation. Both are high in natural enzymes that, when consumed raw, enter your bloodstream and break down the proteins and other molecules involved in the inflammation pathway.

Greens.

Greens, like kale, spinach, or chard can help reduce inflammation because they are high in the mineral magnesium. Research shows that people with a lot of chronic inflammation tend to have low levels of magnesium. If you consider greens a chore to eat, a smoothie is a great option for them. Add a cup of greens to your next recipe and you will get all the nutrition without the flavor.

Tea

Green, white, and oolong tea are full of antioxidants, and these are compounds that can limit inflammation. The antioxidants destroy free radicals in your body. These are compounds that cause a type of damage called oxidative stress, which in turn can cause inflammation. Use tea as the liquid in your next smoothie for an antioxidant boost.

Put the right foods into your smoothies and make some lifestyle changes, and you will be on the road to excellent health with less inflammation.
